FOXBORO -- One day after the Patriots spoke of how beneficial it was for them to practice in the cold and the snow, the Patriots ran a walk-through inside the Dana-Farber Field House.

With temperatures sinking to below 10 degrees outside, the indoor session -- particularly for a walk-through -- made sense.

Media availability was limited to watching players enter the building before their 10:30 a.m. start so it was difficult to take a full attendance, but the three players who were missing from Thursday's outside practice -- receiver Aaron Dobson, guard Logan Mankins and corner Alfonzo Dennard -- were not spotted.

Members of the media got to see Danny Aiken snap a few balls to punter Ryan Allen who then booted them off the roof. Allen also kicked a few 30-yard field goals as his teammates trickled onto the field.
